LIVINGSTON, Mont, February IL =
There are serious apprehensiOns that there

Montana Snow began falling the middle
of November, and there is now more OF 1t
on the ground than for ten years. Most
of the stage roads are entirely closed up,
and trains are running at irregular inter
walls. some being four or five days apart,
and the supply Of fuel is almost exhausted.
Three days ago coal was selling at $50 a
ton, and now it can hardly he purchased

enormous depths, and people living at
mountain basis are in imminent danger OF
meeting horrible fate beneath an ava

Should another protracted storm occur,
it is believed hundreds would succumb to
its terrors. AS it is, more people have

winds, as solid sheet of ice an inch thick
formed over it late in January, and since
that time nearly two feet has fallen. The
cold has been intense, varying from 490
below zero at Livingston and Helena to co.
below at Forts Shaw and Assinaooine. In
the vicinity of the Little Jennie and Grand
Central mines on Bald Mountain, the snow
is eight feet deep on the level, and travel
is impossible except in snow shoes.
A dispatch from Yankton, Dakota says:
The unusually severe winter and the large
amount of snow which has fallen in the
Missouri slope from the Yellowstone coun-
try to Omaha, are the cause for grave ap-
prehensions of OverfOws and foundations
of the bottOm-lands along the river for two
hundred miles above and below this city.
The river is very low, and where there is
no current, the ice measures five feet in
thickness. In the channel four feet is the
average. Indians who make their homes
in the Missouri bottoms above this city are
moving to the hills, claiming that the
water will be higher than ut any time since
1881, when the water covered the low
lands for thirty-five days.
